The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) provides a globally consistent framework for communicating chemical hazards. In medical terms, **what is a hazard symbol in medical terms** refers to pictograms used on chemical and biological agents to warn healthcare workers and patients of potential dangers, ensuring a safer clinical environment.

According to The Joint Commission, using at least two patient identifiers is a fundamental patient safety goal to prevent medical errors. This protocol is a standard of care at healthcare systems nationwide, including at GHS, now known as Prisma Health.
